Abstract
The article provides a theoretical review of the literature on assessing the relevance of various aspects of community improvement. The authors have developed a toolkit for analyzing the population’s demand and level of satisfaction, including 15 indicators. Empirical data on the requests for the improvement of settlements have been collected on the territory of the South of Russia by electronic questionnaires 819 people, permanent residents of 18 settlements by random stratified sampling. Statistical analysis using the method of allocation of principal components in the program SPSS Statistics (version 21) allowed to develop models of the population’s demands on improving settlements of the Stavropol Territory. The applied modelling algorithm allows improving the decision-making system in the field of improvement of territories with the involvement of stakeholders’ opinions. Shows the possibilities of developing a transdisciplinary approach for quality improvement of people’s lives and sustainable development of territories.
Highlights
Public amenities in settlements must satisfy the population's demand for comfortable living and material and spiritual benefits
The listed 15 characteristics of satisfaction of the population's demand for the improvement of the territories of the settlements, the significance of which was assessed in the course of a sample survey of the Stavropol Territory residents, were grouped into four models as a result of the factor analysis performed by the Rotation Method: Varimax with Kaiser Normalization (Rotation converted in 7 iterations)
The theoretical analysis of the population's actual requests for the improvement of public spaces of settlements of various types, the empirical results of the study conducted in the territory of southern Russia allow us to draw some conclusions on the problem under study
Summary
Public amenities in settlements must satisfy the population's demand for comfortable living and material and spiritual benefits. For modern people, this is an essential prerequisite for the choice of place of residence and, the demographic well-being of the area, without which economic growth is impossible. The municipality authorities take care to saturate public spaces with modern comfort attributes and ensure the consumer demand of the population for retail outlets, areas for recreation, sports, cultural and leisure activities, catering, etc. The research authors Syrbe R.-U., Neumann I., Grunewald K., Brabec J., Bastian O. note that the population's quality of life depends on urban living space [1]. The population's demand for ecosystem services is articulated: the availability of park areas in the city with opportunities for cultural and leisure activities
